ICE is going to get someone killed.
This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.
If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.
Hope everyone’s OK.

I know this from personal experience. For my first drive across the state I was going to cover 210 miles with the EV telling me I had 250 miles of range. I barely made it to a charging station half-way through my route.

Speed Eats More of Your EV Range Than Using Air Conditioning in Scorching Heat
If you worry that using air conditioning would affect the range of your electric car, you should know that speed is by far the biggest factor in range loss

I wouldn't be surprised if soccer fans coming to the World Cup next year are turned back for supporting any team other than ours because 'It's against our values'.

Interesting.
Has the purpose of the tariff war gone from 'Support American Manufacturing' to 'Support the bottomline of Corporations'?
Or is this an acknowledgement that the American Dream includes affordable electronics, despite what Bessent stated?

"If the U.S. continues to increase tariffs on Chinese exports, China will not respond," China's Ministry of Finance said.
"Given the current level of tariffs, U.S. goods exported to China are no longer market-viable,"
No need to raise the tariffs further just for show.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation.
When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for.
Unacceptable.

Arendt wrote so clearly about the increasing targetting of people, starting with non-nationals, then dual nationals, then a succession of undesirable nationals. Nothing will protect you. Fascism requires an ever larger circle of enemies to blame for its own failings.
